There's a video Rick Ross addressing this issue now with the GDs situation. Should be on YouTube by now.

I used handle security across the street from Justin's in ATL at the MEZZO condo high rise ( where Jazzy Fay Lives). Justins had parties that were out of control back then. I was at the MEZZO the night the Wolf shooting went down. It happened a little further north on Peachtree. The cops were everywhere! Anyway, here is a link to the Flenory brothers outfit BMF. Their crew had the bad daddy fish scale. It was everyhwere in the ATL back then. Still is......so I hear.

He has an album called Teflon Don and a song called Mafia Music 1 and 2 where he shouts out tons of famous LCN members like Gotti, Gambino, Anastasia, Castellano, etc.

There's also a rapper with the name childish gambino

Kinda ironic considering all those individuals would call Ross the N word.

^^yep

if you enjoy this kindof music,im sorry,but it disgusts me. i have two sons that both listen to this shit.i get it,its part of there generation.my parents never liked my music but the beatles didnt sing about 'slinging dope' and 'shootin niggas'. which is all i ever fucking hear. when i grew up,money and women,that kind of thing-were glamorized yeah,but it wasnt in the mass media. the stones didnt make any songs about how fucking tough they are.and even without that kindof thinking jammed into our brains,we still raised hell all over the place. now,the media encourages 'hustling', and fucking as many 'hoes' as you can, and selling 'bricks'.look,i seen enough violence in my younger days without it being encouraged by main stream radio.i listen to all these rappers talking about how there 'unstoppable' or 'untouchable' and they will go to 'war' or all the 'niggas they capped'. bullshit.if youve even been close to that kind of thing your songs would sound like rodney king. 'why cant we get along'?when some one you know dies for nothing,for bullshit,for an ill-concieved sense of 'honor',you ask your self 'why'. 'why did he deserve to die'? and for what?respect? so they wouldnt look like a punk? because they were friends with the wrong guy.

thats what i dispise about those 'rappers'.if they were around half the shit they claim to be,they would be rapping about how being a father is more important than being a 'real nigga'. sorry for the rant guys.

^^^your absolutely right, sad thing is many of these kids today (I know a bunch) worship/idolize these bastards

Couple weeks ago I was listening to some hip hop song in the car, I hear sirens, I pull over, and I'm looking in my rear view mirror for a good 45 seconds wondering where is the bastard pulling me over...til I realize the sirens were in the song.
Alrighty then.

hahaha theres one song i heard a few yrs back that played sirens called cops iz coming lol

I understand the sentiment and I dislike what the "mainstream" rap is outlandish, materialistic, and shallow as it can be now. But if I may insist, look up the rapper Lupe Fiasco. His lyricism, wordplay , and metaphors are impressive and makes you wonder why aren't there more ARTIST like him around.

lupe is a good one, so is nas (one of my favs)

you reap what you sow. that a super duper gangster rhyme

There's hope....

Back in the days when i was a kid i played this intro with loud war sirens on high volume and my parents were in the next room,so when they heard the sirens they started runnin in panic around the apartment

Gangster rap is DEAD.Suge knight and dr dre have said that the late80s-mid 90s was its peak.Now this new stuff is too cartoony

Rick Ross had some shots fired at his car in florida.

Rick Ross Is Unhurt After Drive-By Shooting in Florida

Several Florida news outlets are reporting that rapper Rick Ross crashed his Rolls Royce early Monday morning after an unidentified assailant fired shots at him from an unknown vehicle.


According to Local10.com, this is Ross' Rolls Royce being towed away from the scene of the accident.
Ross, who last year shrugged off death threats from the Chicago-based street gang Gangster Disciples, reportedly crashed his luxury car into a Fort Lauderdale building while attempting to escape the gunfire. Neither he nor his female passenger were injured, and the car was not hit by any bullets, according to initial reports.

Ross, a former corrections officer, became a target of the Gangster Disciples after he mentioned the gang's founder Larry Hoover in his 2010 single "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)." Though it was initially reported that Ross cancelled several tour dates last December because of the threats against his life, he later clarified that he backed out of the concerts over issues with the promoter.

Today is Ross' 37th birthday.

Rick Ross Under NYPD Protection
Police are taking recent threats against the hip hop star very seriously.

New York City police are giving rapper Rick Ross around-the-clock protection in wake of recent threats against the Miami MC’s life. TMZ is reporting that NYPD officers have been guarding the London Hotel this week, where Ross is believed to be staying a month after being shot at in his home state of Florida.

Ross’ Rolls Royce was shot up as the Maybach Music Group boss left his own birthday celebration in Ft. Lauderdale on January 28. Ross reportedly hired 24-hour armed security after the shooting caused him to crash his car into a restaurant. He and his passenger weren’t injured in the incident.

Threats against the rapper have been a major cause of concern since gang threats caused Ross to cancel his Maybach Music Group tour last December. Promoters in North Carolina were the first to pull the plug on two scheduled performances by Ross and label mates Meek Mill and Wale last December fearing an altercation with the Gangster Disciples.

The infamous Chicago-based gang took issue with Ross’ 2010 hit "B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast,)" which invokes their leader, Larry Hoover, on the hook. Ross stoked the flames with the release of his 2012 mixtape Black Bar Mitzvah, which features the six-point star of David on the cover. The symbol is both an emblem of the Jewish faith and the official logo of the Gangster Disciples.

Ross’ sixth album, Mastermind, is expected to drop in 2013. The single "Box Chevy" was released February 15.
